This is what i get when i click on my upgrade button in my admin section..

* UNKNOWNARCHIVETYPE
* Could not extract the update package. Please check your Joomla! temporary directory permissions or try installing the upgrade package manually.

I have tried this on more than 1 site.. can't figure it out..

Plus i'm on Rochen servers..

Hi myaviation,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. What version of Joomla, PHP, and Akeeba Backup are you using?

Hi! That was a bug in RC2 which was solved with developer's release 70. Even though you're on Rochen's servers, your site isn't running on suPHP as far as I can recall, that's why you got the bug (it's caused by an unwritable tmp directory). Can you try the dev release? If that doesn't help, try chmod'ing your tmp directory to 0777, run the update and then chmod it back to 0755.
